The Salterton Trilogy   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Robertson Davies' "Salterton Trilogy" is a well-written, often funny and sometimes poignant look at the realistically odd occupants of Salterton, the deceptively quaint Canadian city with two cathedrals and one university. The Salterton trilogy is almost misnamed--yes, it does center around the town of Salterton, but the real center of the three books is Solomon Bridgetower. The Salterton players assume they can have the use of the garden of their most famous citizen, and it is this assumption of community use that leads them into trouble. www.hallauthors.com /store/books_014015910X_The-Salterton-Trilogy.html   (993 words)

The Salterton Trilogy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Salterton Trilogy consists of the first three novels published by Canadian novelist Robertson Davies: Tempest-Tost (1951), Leaven of Malice (1954), and A Mixture of Frailties (1958). The series was also published in one volume as The Salterton Trilogy in 1986. Davies was awarded the Stephen Leacock Award for Humour in 1955 for Leaven of Malice. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Salterton_Trilogy   (113 words)

The Deptford Trilogy The Deptford Trilogy is one of the best known works of Canadian novelist Robertson Davies, consisting of Fifth Business[?] (1970), The Manticore[?] (1972), and World of Wonder[?] (1975). The trilogy revolves around former residents of the small village of Deptford, Ontario (as the Salterton trilogy does around the village of Salterton, and the Cornish around the Cornish family). The greatest secret is one that we are not even aware of until the close of the last book, but knowing it finally answers questions about the relationships of several major characters. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/th/The_Deptford_Trilogy.html   (239 words)

Encyclopedia: Robertson Davies His first three novels, which later became known as The Salterton Trilogy, were Tempest-Tost (1951), Leaven of Malice (1954) (which won the Stephen Leacock Award for Humour), and A Mixture of Frailties (1958). A Mixture of Frailties, published in 1958, is the third novel in the The Salterton Trilogy by Canadian novelist Robertson Davies. The Toronto Trilogy is the name that has been given to what would have been Canadian novelist Robertson Davies final set of three novels, had he lived to complete the third installment. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Robertson-Davies   (5080 words)

The Salterton Trilogy : Book   (Site not responding. Last check: ) What I do mean is that the Salterton Trilogy is a compelling romp of a read with enough intelligence and wit to cause one to want to read it in front of the fire come February. Although the town of Salterton (in reality Kingston, Ontario, a charming old Loyalist city on the river) seems to exist as a somewhat rarefied sugarplum of 1950s sensibilities and prejudices, the characters are remarkably believeable and personable, the plots well paced and the action eminently suited to a comfy chair and a cup of tea. The Salterton Trilogy is a perfect introduction to a great Canadian author, and a great cheer-up if life has been treating you shabbily. www.yezee.com /an/014015910X.html   (1762 words)

The Salterton Trilogy Test :: http://www.testbericht-archiv.de   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Meine Erfahrungen: What Robertson Davies had achieved by the time he wrote the final word in the Cornish Trilogy was foretold from the first word of the Salterton Trilogy. The trilogy itself rates 4 stars because Tempest tost, though well written and entertaining is light and nothing significant. Meine Erfahrungen: The Salterton trilogy is "lighter" than Davies' other work, but I hesitate to call it "lesser." While the Deptford Trilogy is unquestionably his finest work, I personally prefer the lighthearted humor of the Salterton trilogy to the disjointed and uneven Cornish Trilogy. www.testbericht-archiv.de /The+Salterton+Trilogy+test+testbericht+testberichte+tests+Test+Testbericht+Testberichte+Preisvergleich-Testberichte-014015910X.html   (568 words)

The Deptford Trilogy (Robertson Davies)   (Site not responding. Last check: ) I think this trilogy succeeds so well primarily because of the writing.-What the character David Staunton calls "plain language"-The baroque is indeed, "not for everybody", but more significantly, hard to pull off. At the backbone of this trilogy is a mystery, yet Davies' prose is so sprawling (yet concise!...all three books total under 900 pages!) that the mystery seems almost peripheral to everything else that is going on. The event that provides the basis for the trilogy is Staunton's death sixty years later, when his Cadillac mysteriously plunges off a pier into a harbor. www.flightsimaviation.com /shop/us/product/0140147551.htm   (564 words)

Davies, Robertson. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 Among the most important themes explored in his densely plotted novels are the moral dimensions of life, the isolation of the human spirit, and humanity’s growth from innocence to experience. The Salterton Trilogy—Tempest-Tost (1951), Leaven of Malice (1954), and A Mixture of Frailties (1958)—is a satiric romance that explores Canadian life and culture. Later novels include his third trilogy, the Cornish—The Rebel Angels (1981), Bred in the Bone (1985), and The Lyre of Orpheus (1989), as well as The Cunning Man (1995). www.bartleby.com /65/da/DaviesR.html   (278 words)

Amazon.ca: Salterton Trilogy: Books: Robertson Davies With its two cathedrals, its one university, and its native sons and daughters busily scheming for their dreams, Salterton is very much in the real world. "The Salterton Trilogy" is no exception: a well-written, often funny and sometimes poignant look at the odd occupants of Salterton, the deceptively quaint Canadian city with two cathedrals and one university. The Salterton Trilogy is often eclipsed by Davies' better-known Deptford Trilogy, but that doesn't mean it's bad. www.amazon.ca /Salterton-Trilogy-Robertson-Davies/dp/0140159797   (998 words)

Cunning Man Review The novels fit generally into trilogies: The Salterton Trilogy, The Deptford Trilogy, and The Cornish Trilogy, in order of composition, represent his first nine novels. All his novels, however, can be read independently (although at least The Deptford Trilogy probably reads best in order.) To say, as I have said, that his novels are "about Canada" is a laughable understatement, however. I tried to summarize the subjects which Davies covered once for a friend, thinking it would be a tidy list, and I kept going and going: Theatre, Music, Vaudeville, Toronto, Hagiography, Jungian Psychology, Art (particularly "The Old Masters"), aging, medicine, Canadian politics, war, finance, schools (both Canadian "boarding schools" and Universities), and on and on. www.sff.net /people/richard.horton/cunning.htm   (537 words)

IMHO | The Salterton Trilogy I wanted to assume that The Salterton Trilogy was written first, in the way that you can excuse earlier works on account of the author's inexperience of life. This trilogy is just not very DEEP, unlike The Deptford Trilogy, which somehow manages to construct a fascinating mythology that is firmly rooted in the understated chilly existence of English-speaking Canada, a difficult thing indeed. But hey, the Salterton novels do improve in order of their appearance: Tempest Tost is a light comedy of manners about the amateur production of Shakespearean theatre in the university town of Salterton. www.imho-reviews.com /print.php?id=36_0_1_0_C   (321 words)

The Deptford Trilogy: Fifth Business, The Manticore, World of Wonders Around this central mystery is woven a glittering, fantastical, cunningly contrived trilogy of novels.

Amazon.de: Profil von Amy Vincent: Rezensionen I've heard Foote's trilogy criticized for being so focused on the military aspects of this time in history; however, considering the incredible complexity and energy with which he handles the subject, I think the man can be forgiven for not trying to write another three volumes about society! The Salterton trilogy is "lighter" than Davies' other work, but I hesitate to call it "lesser." While the Deptford Trilogy is unquestionably his finest work, I personally prefer the lighthearted humor of the Salterton trilogy to the disjointed and uneven Cornish Trilogy. The first time I read the trilogy, the change in tone disappointed me; however, "A Mixture of Frailties" has since become my favorite of the three. www.amazon.de /gp/cdp/member-reviews/A5NJXRDHYUBP9?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview   (1133 words)

Working Dogs Book Store - What's Bred in the Bone (Cornish Trilogy) (Robertson Davies) This middle volume is a superb telling of the life of Francis Cornish, the hinge upon whom all of the trilogy is supported. Lest that be off-putting to some, however, it should be noted that this is a novel that also takes the main character to far away Europe, into the intrigues of war, and the mysteries of forged (and not-quite-forged) artworks. What this story misses, relative to the first and third books of the trilogy, is the spice given to us by Maria's mother and uncle, who are absent here. www.workingdogs.com /bookstore/us/product/0140097112.htm   (1061 words)

And finding the right girl is only the start of Sollys problems.lt;pgt;The tone of the Salterton Trilogy is lighter and less introspective than Davies other books. In some ways it is a mystery, too, as the two "lovers" attempt to find who had the malice to link their names in the public eye.lt;pgt;The concluding volume, A Mixture of Frailties, is about a trust established by Solomons mother, and how it must be awarded to a specific individual. www.world-literature.com /The_Salterton_Trilogy_014015910X.html   (963 words)

BookBest: Teens - Authors, A-Z - ( D ) - Davies, Robertson The problem with The Manticore is that it is the middle novel, without the refreshing newness of the opening and lacking the rush towards the climax of the concluding novel. Unlike his other university-set novels, Salterton features contempt for the frivolity of faculty and persons who live in a small town.While not entirely inaccurate in his portrayal of a small university-centered Canadian town, it doesn't relish academia in the way that the Cornish trilogy does. The Lyre of Orpheus is the concluding novel in Robertson Davies's Cornish Trilogy, and it stands as a strong work within the context of that collection.Like The Rebel Angels (the first book), The Lyre of Orpheus is very much dependent upon the two other books and does not do well as a stand-alone. teens.bookbest.com /node/authors-a-z/davies-robertson/152745.html   (8371 words)

A Mixture of Frailties Salterton Trilogy   (Site not responding. Last check: ) In my opinion he should have kept The Salterton Trilogy in Salterton. This book does seem to have a bit more of a plot than the first two but I'm not sure Davies is that worried about plot in his books. Add to that the fact that Davies begins to really hit his stride in developing his mature style, with offbeat but recognizable characters, a plot that drives forward without ever seeming to rush, and his real appreciation for artists and students, and you have a real winner. www.hallauthors.com /store/books_0140167919_A-Mixture-of-Frailties-Salterton-Trilogy.html   (148 words)
